	About Grenache: a Rhone Grape Varietal Grown at Tablas Creek Vineyard
		Grenache, (also known as Grenache Noir, to distinguish it from its white counterpart Grenache Blanc) is the most widely planted cépage noble in the southern Rhône Valley, and the second most widely planted varietal in the world.
		Grenache was brought to California in the 1860s, where its erect carriage, vigor and resistance to drought made it a popular planting choice.
		Grenache is a vigorous variety with upright shoots that lends itself to “gobelet” or “head pruning”; it is widely cultivated in this manner in France and in Spain.

	Grenache
		Grenache noir is the world's most widely planted grape used to make red wine, sometimes made into a stand-alone varietal, frequently as a rosé, but most often as a backbone of red blends.
		The grenache grape is relatively low in both pigment and malic acid, and oxidizes readily.
		Although some 100% varietal wines are produced from grenache, particularly in Spain's Rioja and from some "old vines" plantings in California, it is mostly used to "fill out" red blends and soften harsher partners, such as syrah and carignan.

		Grenache is a red wine grape that doesn't see the spotlight like cabernet sauvignon, merlot or pinot noir.

		Le grenache est aussi un cépage très sensible à l'oxydation, beaucoup de vins élaborés avec ce cépage se révélant incapables de tenir la route plus de quelques années.
